Thunderclouds
Sia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I need is one
One old man is enough
Babe, you got it wrong
Just turn your fears into trust, to trust

Where'd the love go?
When all is said and done
Hey now, put your hands in the air
I'ma go through your stuff
Where'd the love go?
Put the running into run
You asking me to stay
But I never met a girl I could trust

You're sayin' those words like you hate me now (wo-oah)
Our house is burning when you're raisin' hell (wo-oah)
Here in the ashes your soul cries out (a-a-ah)
But don't be afraid of these thunderclouds
These thunderclouds, oh, no
These thunderclouds, oh, no, no

All I need is love (da-dum, dum, dum)
All I need is a word (da-dum, dum, dum)
All I need is us (da-dum, dum, dum)
You turned nouns into verbs, to verbs

Where did love go?
When all is said and done
Hey now, put your hands in the air
I'ma go through your stuff
Where did love go?
You put the running into run
You're asking me to stay
But I never met a man I could trust

You're sayin' those words like you hate me now (wo-oah)
Our house is burning when you're raisin' hell (wo-oah)
Here in the ashes your soul cries out (a-a-ah)
But don't be afraid of these thunderclouds
These thunderclouds, oh, no
These thunderclouds, oh, no, no
These thunderclouds, oh, no
These thunderclouds, oh, no, no

These thunderclouds, oh oh
These thunderclouds, oh oh oh




These thunderclouds
Oh

Overall Meaning

Sia's Thunderclouds is a beautiful ballad that encourages listeners to trust amidst difficult situations. The opening lines, "All I need is one, one old man is enough, babe, you got it wrong, just turn your fears into trust, to trust," tell us that we don't need a crowd to stand by us. One person who believes in us is enough. Sometimes, we allow our fears to take over and cloud our judgment. The song advises us to turn our fears into trust. We should be confident and believe that things will turn out okay.


The chorus "Where'd the love go? When all is said and done. Hey now, put your hands in the air. I'ma go through your stuff. Where'd the love go? Put the running into run. You asking me to stay, but I never met a girl I could trust" is a beautiful expression of heartbreak. The lyrics speak of love lost and the difficulties that come with holding on to a relationship that does not work. The question of where the love went when everything is said and done speaks volumes to the pain one feels when they are not loved anymore. Despite the sadness, the chorus tells us not to be afraid of "these thunderclouds" that represent the difficulties life brings.


The bridge, "You're sayin' those words like you hate me now. Our house is burning when you're raisin' hell. Here in the ashes, your soul cries out. But don't be afraid of these thunderclouds," uses metaphors to describe the pain that one feels when they are breaking up with someone they love. You feel like your world is burning down, and your soul cries out, but the song asks us not to be afraid of these thunderclouds because they will eventually pass.
